Leave your thoughts about The Blues Brothers.
| Film ThreatBrad LaidmanI am never not amused by the Blues Brothers. |
| Filmcritic.comPete CroattoThere's not one ineffective cameo in a movie with many because there's no sense of stunt casting or camera hogging. |
| Nitrate OnlineDan LybargerThe story is thin, but there's a consistently wonderful over-the-top mentality. |
| The TelegraphMartin ChiltonThe film also has stunning car chases, choreographed like the dancing in a musical, as the Blues Brothers are pursued throughout Chicago, at one point even tearing through a shopping mall, in their 'Bluesmobile', a retired 1974 Mount Prospect, Illinois Dodge Monaco patrol car. |

| IGN DVDR.L. ShafferA dazzlingly enjoyable, memorable road trip of comedy and music from two of SNL's best. |

| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThe Blues Brothers is, by any objective standard, a messy wreck... That this is so does not in anyway change that it is an absolutely wonderful movie. |
| CinemaBlendMargaret WilliamsThough The Blues Brothers takes nothing seriously, it has seriously changed the landscape of comedic history and blues music forever. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergFrequently over-the-top and aggressively raucous, it's one of my very favorite comedies -- and musicals. |
